| 1973 Laverda 750 SF1 |
 |
For 1973 Laverda's 750 twin got the
boost it needed, in the shape of the
SF1. By this time sound level regulations
were intruding so Laverda was faced
with the conflicting difficulties of
increasing gas flow and decreasing exhaust
noise. Laverda achieved both ends with
large diameter exhaust pipes (1.6-inch)
interconnected by a transverse collector
box, new style Dell Orto 36mm pumper
carbs and a matching new camshaft. These
mods lifted power to a claimed 66bhp
at 7300rpm, and top speed rose accordingly
to around 117mph. |
